The man accused of stabbing a man over 20 times on an Albuquerque bus has been found not guilty on all counts.

Earlier this year, 62-year-old Gregory Dozier stabbed a man while riding the city bus. The altercation was caught on surveillance video.

Dozier was arrested after the fight but was released after a judge lowered his bail to $10,000 and made it unsecured because she said he wasn’t the aggressor. The man who was stabbed allegedly started punching Dozier for stealing a necklace from him.

However, Dozier was re-arrested days later after he violated the conditions of his release.

Dozier was facing numerous charges in connection with the stabbing but on Wednesday a jury found him not guilty on all counts.

The District Attorney's Office released the following statement:

"There was never any question about whether Mr. Dozier stabbed the victim in this case. The question was why he did it. Unfortunately the victim had little recollection of the events leading up to the attack and as a result the defendant was able to make a credible argument for self defense. While we disagree with the outcome, we have to respect the jury’s verdict. "
